The PMPD Occlusion BFR Bands are blood flow restriction straps designed for use during various exercises such as weight lifting, powerlifting, and crossfit. These elastic bands come in a grey color and feature adjustable closures for a customized fit on the arms and legs. Ideal for targeting muscle groups including the chest, legs, glutes, shoulders, biceps, triceps, and thighs. These bands can be used for home, semi-commercial, or commercial fitness activities. Made in China, these bands offer a unique way to enhance your workout routine and promote muscle growth and strength.

Occlusion band training, also known as blood flow restriction (BFR) training, is a technique that involves using a band or cuff to restrict blood flow to a limb while exercising. The goal is to increase muscle size and strength. 
How it works 
  • A band or cuff is wrapped around the limb being exercised
  • Pressure is increased as the exercise begins
  • Blood flow is restricted, causing blood to pool in the limb
  • This creates metabolic stress and triggers a muscle-building response
Benefits
  • Allows you to work out at a lower intensity while using less weight 
  • Can help you build muscle and strength 
  • Can give your joints a break from heavier weight training
Safety 
  • To help prevent complications, it's best to consult a medical professional before beginning occlusion training 
  • The type of cuff used, including its width, pressure, and material, can affect the level of occlusion training
How to do it
  • You can use a cable machine or resistance bands 
  • You can do sets of light repetitions with rest periods in between 
  • You can try doing 2 to 3 BFR sessions per week
